June 19th - 23rd

 

We had the most wonderful time down in Fish Creek Park this week! We were inspired by Frank Serafini's book - Looking Closely Through The Forest - and did lots of our own looking closely! While enjoying our time connecting to the land, we discovered many different treasures...dew drops on leaves, interestingly shaped rocks, flower patterns, mossy trees, flying and crawling insects, quick spiders, a mama duck with her 4 little ducklings and so much more! It was great to hear the students making observations, connecting to background knowledge as well as asking thoughtful questions.
